Filson Dry Bag Collection

When James Brown’s papa had a brand new bag back in 1965, it was an exciting time. So much so, that JB sang a song about it. It was funky and lively, but it was incomplete. Why? Because that bag was not water-resistant.

We can’t even imagine the groovy grunts the Godfather of Soul would let out today were he alive to see Filson‘s Dry Bag collection. These are lightweight, durable, and stylish bags that can protect your stuff in just about any situation. The Dry Messenger bag ($140), for instance, is made from 18-oz. vinyl-coated polyester and features a roll top with hook-and-loop tab, adjustable buckle straps that cinch down on the sides, an adjustable shoulder strap, and a water-resistant zip front pocket.
